First You Put Your Left Foot...

More than 100 rowing enthusiasts presented themselves at Weld Boat House yesterday afternoon, and were welcomed by clear blue skies and calm brown water.

The over-enthusiast here apparently stepping sideways from his shell into the water is actually pushing his shell away from the dock. He continued to push until clear and, still dry, rowed gleefully up and down the Charles, cautiously avoiding Blake Dennison, singles coach, the crew, construction debris, and other over-enthusiasts who were also rowing happily about in the mocha waters.

Principal new attraction at the old boathouse is a fibre-glass shell, which many can see but few can row in.
